What the Colors Mean
Flag History
Selected from nearly 3,000 designs submitted in a 1949 national contest. Economist Zeng Liansong's "Five-star Red Flag" won: one large star for the Communist Party and four smaller stars arcing toward it for the workers, peasants, petty bourgeoisie and national bourgeoisie.
✨ Did you know?
Each small star is rotated so one of its points aims exactly at the center of the big star — a detail specified by law.
Unicode sequence for 🇨🇳
The China flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code CN. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter C
- 🇨 · U+1F1E8
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter N
- 🇳 · U+1F1F3
Full sequence: U+1F1E8 U+1F1F3. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
